Full description
This is a 6-hour experience in Sapa. It is run by ASu Sa Pa Trekking Tour, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
Japan's outdoors is organised: trails are marked, mountain huts are booked, and the walking routes with history, the Nakasendo post road between Magome and Tsumago and the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage in Wakayama, are done in comfortable day stages with luggage forwarded. Cycling tours use the flat river paths and back streets that cars avoid. The summer heat from July to September makes early starts essential in the cities and lowlands, while the mountains are cool. Winter turns Hokkaido and Nagano into ski country from December to March, with the powder that Niseko and Hakuba are known for.
The price covers guide, Lunch at a local family's house, Entrance fees to the villages and Transport to Sapa after the tour ends in the village. It does not cover Everything not mentioned in the inclusions, Tips for tour guide and Personal travel insurance, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.
Nhà Thờ Đá Sapa. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with ASu Sa Pa Trekking Tour before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

This was the best experience! I went with my husband and we cannot recommend it enough. The route is beautiful and you see so much nature and culture. But the best thing is the guide, we went with Vang and she was incredible! It’s a business with her and her husband Su and they are both wonderful people. She answered all our many questions and offered loads of information throughout the tour and then we had a delicious lunch near her home village. It’s small groups too which feels very social and personal. If you’re in Sapa, do it!
We had an amazing time with Vâng! She told us so much about the cultures and villages, and answered all the other questions we had. We took an adventurous route with breathtaking views. I would definitely recommend this tour and would do it again!
Su was an exceptional guide from start to finish. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience fun and engaging.
If you’re doing a day hike in Sapa book this tour! It was a lovely hike down the hill. We started in town and strolled out of town along the road. We then turned off and started walking through the rice fields passing through 3 towns which were all very lovely. Our guide Su was a local from the valley. He answered every question we had. It’s a family run trekking tour and he said they only run small groups. (On our hike it was just me and my girlfriend). I really recommend booking this!
We meet our guide Su in Sapa town then trekked down into ethnic villages & beautiful mountain passes. Su filled us with facts & information all along the way . We stopped for a lovely lunch which was included. After walking so far it was great to be met by a taxi to bring us up the hills to our starting point which was also included. The day was such great value for money & Su was a great guide. Highly recommended
It was amazing! Our guide was awesome, she gave us an incredible experience. They also drop us off at our hotel with our bags after.
A 100% recommend the tour, the guide (Su) is great and adapted the trek to the pace of the whole group and climate condition, during the route he explain lots things to you to better understand the context and how people live there. The difficulty is medium-hard, you have to have stamina to go down some of the paths especially if it is/was raining (can be really slipery). After lunch we were accompanied all the way back (2-3 hours) by a little girl and a woman who try to sell things, I know it's not part of the tour, I just want to ask you to not give money to childrens, they don't deserve to
We had a very nice day with Su. Was a really beautiful path and Su was a very good tour guide; informative, encouraging and lovely. Overall had a wonderful day.
Su guided us through the rice fields and traditional villages, where we learned a lot of interesting things about the locals. The views and information alone made the trip worthwhile. He speaks very good English, which made communication very easy. I recommend this trip to anyone who wants to get away from tourism and learn about the culture and life in Sapa. One more tip: if it has rained or is raining, be sure to wear muddy and non-slip shoes. Truly recommend Su to everyone!
Our guide was incredible knowledgeable, patient, and full of stories. The guide took great care of us, even during the toughest parts of the trek. I felt safe and supported the whole time. Highly recommend!
I truly enjoyed this day tour with our guide, as he was very friendly and always helped each of us throughout the trip. Although it was raining and the roads were quite slippery, but i had a wonderful time in Sapa overall. Highly recommended this tour!
We had a wonderful day trekking in Sapa with our guide Gao! She is warm, professional, and showed us beautiful landscapes and local culture. We highly recommend her !
